The winch is amazing.
I am contemplating asking it if I can take it out to dinner

Well took the winch apart today, it's like new inside !!
Built one hub up ready as well.
Needs a prop uj as well ones seized.
If I get an axle this week should be ok.

Or just replacing the bits you broke?

Front winch I am upgrading to an 8274, bought some giglepin upgrades yesterday and a winch troff to mount it in
The rear axle was was bent so I bought another one and a load of axle trusses from America with new saddles. I've fitted better rear shackles as well, again from America.
I am going to put my front winch that's on t now on the back, so it pokes through the rear door.
Got a new rad for it and new rear calipers so it can have vented brakes all round now too.
I need to find a Subaru impretza master cylinder though as my brakes are rubbish as the the master cylinder isn't big enough. Scooby one is a straight swap.

I snapped a snap on file months ago, snap on wouldn't replace it as I stood on it.
So I unwound the handle and used it as a gear knob

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
